f , gi ic 22 5 te | } DISTRICT HORSES WIN AT ROYAL ARABIAN HORSES, owned by Mr. and Mrs. L. McCul- loch, RR 3, Oshawa, won two ribbons at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto recently. In the upper picture is the pure. bred Arabian stallion, Khala Nar, which placed first in the native costume class. The stallion is ridden by Mrs. Mc- Culloch attired in a costume of red velvet and orange felt with red and gold woollen tas- sels and embroidered with pearls, sequins and gold and silver threads in an attractive design. A string of bells, pur- chased from a shepherd boy in Arabia and worn on the saddle lends an authentic touch to the costuming. In the lower picture Mrs. J. Thom- son is seen admiring Badu, a colt which won the "Arabian Foal of 1963" class. He was imported from New. York State. --Oshawa Times Photos Native Of Darlington Sees Many Changes Visiting from Saskatoon and at present staying with his niece in Oshawa is Levi Jones. Now. 85 years old, Mr. Jones was born in 1878 in Darlington Township. In 1905 he went to Saskatchewan as a homestead- er, and since then has been back to Oshawa five times. He is staying with Mr. and Mrs. R. J. H. Branton, of 11 Brock street west, and has one other niece in the area, Miss Mamie Kellow. NO HIGHWAYS When Mr. Jones went west, Saskatchewan had just become a province of Canada. There were no highways, bridges or ferries near the Saskatchewan River, so that the farming stock he and his companions had taken with them had to be swum across. They themselves used a rowboat borrowed from half-breed ranchers along the river and broke down their wagons to take them across. Once on the other side the Wagons were reconstructed. They worked three days to get everything over the river. Woman Hurt In Accident One woman was slightly in- jured and nearly $1,400 damage caused as stormy weather made roads slippery, Friday evening. Mrs. Mary Skoda, 20, 45 John street, suffered a bruised head and hand injuries when a car) in which she was riding was involved in collision at Athol east and Drew street. | The two cars involved were driven by Robert Fernandz, 51, 571 Veterans aventie and Imre Korosi, 47, 15 Verdun road A pipe fence on the north- east corner of the intersection was damaged in the crash. Cars driven by two General Motors laboratory employees were involved in collision at Park south and GGibb, Drivers! were: Peter Zeibin, 49, 285) Bloor west, and John Braznick, 17, 839 Sylvia. Another traffic mishap at King east near Athabaska caused slight damage to vehi-' cles driven by Joseph VanHoof 20, RR 3, Bowmanville, and Claude Morgan, 46, RP3, Osh-| awa. | Until 1917, said Mr. Jons, he and his wife lived in a sod house. During the time they were there the face of the area changed considerably. Whereas they had found it "just as the buffalo left it", bit by bit they achieved their goals. At first they were 65 miles from the railroad, now it is just ten miles away, and they have electricity, water supplies, and highways. Mr. Jones retired from farming in 1944 and when he moved to Saskatoon, one of his sons took over the farm. He and his wife had four chil- dren, and there are now 15 grandchildren and six great- grandchildren. Mr, Jones recalls how all the farm work was done by oxen in the early years, and now farms are run with machinery. There used to be poles in front of houses to hitch up the horses, but now there are parking meters in all the towns. He helped to build the first schools, and was a member of the first school board. The chil- dren could once only go up to Grade 10 in the local schools, education, but now they can fin- ish in any of the schools. | His main memory of the Osh- lawa he first left behind,' how- ever, is of mud. There used to be mud almost up to your knees at Four Corners, he said, The streets and stores have also undergone considerable change, he said. Mr. Jones will be staying in Oshawa for a short time, and then returning west with his jyoungest daughter and her hus-| band who came with him.

Sunday night was a great monstrations on the gentle art of judo, while the sports in- structor Mr. Oitman instructed another group on the piercing sport of fencing. Upstairs FC Vanderende, with the aid of CI McRae, was teaching the conventional way to play basketball along with a few pointers on the Air Cadet way to play. The only thing is our way of playing is a little rough. It is also hard on doors. Meanwhile in the front room, under the watchful eye's of FS Anselstetter and myself, a few brave souls were throwing themselves over the box horse.

The report spread like wildfire, announced first by studen* about to write exams on the second shift. The horrible truth was confirmed by radio and television when they anriv- ed home. I am sure everyone found it hard to study on the weekend with this tragedy and the events it triggered off mak- ing world history. Exams are no7 over for Cen- tralites until] next February or March and everyone is in good spirits. The best way to get into the Chrstmas spirit is to get the "'gang" together and plan a skit for Capers. You have re- ceived several ideas from var- ious sources and should have something called an imagination which will provide more ideas. There are no exams to blame it on now and you only have a couple of weeks as Christmas Capers is on December 19. So get busy and use that imagina- tion and let's make Capers a real success! Ju.t before exams the first 1963-64 edition of the Centralite, our school newspaper, was "put on the stands". There were sev- eral new additions this year such as the findings of a Roving Board Ruling Expected Soon Mayor Lyman Gifford said to- day the Ontario Municipal Board is studying Oshawa's ap- plication for approval of a by- law to allow the city to borrow money (up to $1,300,000) to get the Civic Auditorium under way. A decision is expected early next week. His Worship was in Toronto Friday to confer with J. A. Ken- nedy, OMB chairman, on the application. It needs OMB ap- provi because the city is, in ef- fect, adding the dollar figure to its projected capital expendi- tures <nd these estimates must be approved by the OMB. The Department of Municipal Affairs is still studying Osh- awa's application to borrow money from. the Federal Muni- cipal Loan fund for this and other projects. Youth Admits Three Charges An Oshawa youth, who enter- ed pleas of guilty to three charges, was remanded for sen- tence by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs at Police Court Friday. Michael Murdock, 18, of 15 Garrard road, was charged with auto theft, break, enter and theft and having beer. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck said that the accused stole the car from an Albert street lot Thursday. The accused youth then drove to a south-end store, broke in through a cellar window and stole cigarets and candy. In a statement made to police Mur- dock admitted the offences. Mr. Affleck also said that a bottle of beer was found in the stolen car which was chased along Highway 401 by Whitby Town Police. His Worship re- manded Murdock until Dec. 2, Good Spirits Back After Exam Push | EE , and a record survey. Fe ginal shows an improve- ment over ptevious years and contains more form news. I am sure the stu'ents would like to see more editions put out with continuing improvement. SADIE HAWKIN'S DANCE The students celebrated in real style at the Sadie Hawkin's Dance Friday night. All the girls with enough nerve asked someone to go aid the rest were left twiddlin. their thumbs at home or going to the dance stag. The dress was hard time and to see some of the outfits that people wiicd up in you would think they really were having a hard time of it. The Emeralds supplied the music and the dance was run by the Recreation ang Dance Commit- tee headed by Connie Fiegel, onganizer. The boys are cager to start practising basketball again and I hope ail t.» energy they are showing now comes out in the interschool games. But of course it will, because they are the Central Basketball Team and cannot lose (we hope)! The girls'. intramural basket- bali schedule will be starting soon and let us hope there is more support for this than the volleybail. It can be a lot of fun to get out and play basketball, which is a much faster game than volleyball, Intramural sports ane designed so that all the students in the school can participate in a sports pro- gram, If everyone does not take part, the program then falls down. So let's support this, girls, and show once more that we hav2 school spirit. Stole Radio Youth Admits A youth, who stole a radio valued at $60 and sold it for $3, appeared Friday in Oshawa Po- tice Court. William Fedorszenko, 17, of 580 Front street, entered pleas of guilty to a charge of theft of a radio and theft of a ladies' purse which held $330. The court heard that the accused took the radio from a parked car on Oct. 9 and sold itt o a Simcoe street south dealer. The radio was subsequently seen in the store window and enquiries revealed that Fedors- zenko had sold the article. In a statement made to police a neighbor of the accused youth said that she saw him take something from a parked car near her home on Oct. 18. Jane Wosny later told police that she had left a purse con- taining $330 in the car which was stolen, The purse and money were later found hidden in a tre-trunk near the Osh- awa Creek. Magistrate Frank Ebbs re- manded the accused for sen- tence on Monday. Driving Charge Is Laid Over Marian Kostrzewa, 249 Hill- side avenue, appeared in Osh- awa Magistrate's Court Friday on a care ana control charge. The accused man entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. Constable A. J. Lavender of the Oshawa City Police told the court he was driving east on Two-Car Crash Fatal BETHANY (Staff) -- John Wright, 35, of RR1, Bethany, died early Friday night in a two car crash on Highway 35, a mile north of Lighway 7A. Bowman- ville OPP said it was snowing lightly at the time. Wright,. a Highway 35 service station operator, was a passen- ger in a car driven by Robert L. Thornton of Omemee. There were three other persons in the car, none seriously injured. Receiving treatment at Lind- say Hospital was Jurgen Rohr, 22, of Kalmar avenue, Toronto, driver of the second car. Details of the accident were not imme- diately. available. At Cadmus, a few miles east of Blackstock, Friday afternoon, a car-truck collision reduced Albert P. Heim's car to a total wreck, according to the OPP. Mr. Heim, of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, was admitted to Port Perry Community Memor- ial Hospital with head locera- tions and a sprained wrist. His condition is satisfactory. Driver of the truck was John Kusiar, Lakeview Blvd., Pickering Beach. Athol street, at Ritson road, on the night of Avg. 24. "I saw a car make a right turn on to Athol from Ritson," the officer said, "and strike the car in front of mine." The officer said that he thought the accused man was drunk when he left his car and spoke to him. Sergeant J. A. Taylor said that he was on desk duty when the accused was brought to the siaiion after the collision. The sergeant 'stated that Kostrzewa was intoxicated. Defence Counsel T. V. Keliy asked that the case be put over until Dec. 13. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs granted the request. Police Defend Breath Tester TORONTO (CP) -- The con- troversial breath - testing ma- chine, which plays a major role in convicting inebriated drivers, was defended Friday by police and experts of the attorney-gen- eral's crime laboratory. Magistrate James Black, in nearby Milton, dismissed an im- paireddriving charge Thursday after being told the accuracy of the machine' varies with the amount of air breathed into it.

NORTH Free Man Of Paper Theft A charge of theft of a news- paper was heard at Police Court by Magistrate F. §. Ebbs Fri- day. Edwa Ardrthur Rose, 767 Philip Murray avenue, entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. Bill Metcalf said that he watched a newspaper box at Park road south and Wentworth on the morning of Sept. 24. The witness was an agent of the owner of the box. Mr. Metcalf said that he saw the accused man drive up, look around, leave his car and place something in the coin box of the newspaper container and take a copy, The witness said that he then checked the box which he had emptied a short time before and found one cent had been put in as payment for the 10-cent newspaper. When challenged by Mr. Met- calf the accused said that he had made a mistake and had no intention of "'beating the newspaper box owner'. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck pointed out that the "penny- gambit used to steal news- papers was very prevalent and the franchise operator in Osh- awa loses almost 250 papers daily in this way'. Magistrate Ebbs said that he would give Rose the benefit of the doubt and dismissed the case. Traffic Case Is Set Over An accident, in which a six- year-old child was injured, caused the appearance, in Osh- awa Magistrate's Court Friday, of Steve Zadorozny, 63, of 485 Bloor street east. Zadoromy was charged with dangerous driving, careless driving and failing to report an accident. The accused entered pleas of not guilty to all three charges. W. G.

First Set Of Exams End BY MARTIN SINGLETON OCVI Reported Friday, Nov. 29, marked the end of the first set of examin- ations for the students at O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute. As a result 1,200 tired students heaved a sigh of relief and the weekend saw many of them celebrating their freedom. Incidentally a few boys were noticed casting furtive glances around the exam room at the young girls who are in the ma- jority at the school. The students are now looking forward, with eager anticipa- tion, to the annual Christmas Frolic which will be held Dec. 19 and to the Students' Day Dec. 20 in which the best students teach for 20-minute periods and the teachers have a well deserved rest.

The pur- pose of this act was to set up a representative committee to lay plans for the celebration of Canada's Centennial in 1967. One of the amendments intro- duced by the government was to change the title from National Centennial Act to the Centennial of Confederation Act. This was done to satisfy the demands of the Province of Quebec. The Province of Quebec had stated that unless this change was made, they would not co-oper- ate in the celebration of the 100th year of Canada's confed- eration. This is another of those ultimatums from Quebec which have been given in the course of the past seven or eight months. The other amedment was to increase the number of direc- tors from 8 to 12. INTERESTING WORK I have found my work on the Public Accounts Committee quite interesting in recent weeks. This is a committee that I have had no opportunity to serve on in the past. Conse- quently I am looking forward to the work entailed in the study of the matters that will be brought before this standing committee of the House of Com- mons. There have been continuous charges made recently that the opposition is obstructing the pro- gress of the business of the House of Commons. These charges are not backed by fact. All one has to do is to compare the progress which has been made so far in this session with that made in recent sessions. I admit that there have been intances where it could be felt that time was being wasted. But these instances, in my opinion, have been few and far between. There is always that aspect to contend with, when you are dealing with matters in a demo- cratic fashion. MUST BE WATCHFUL The opposition has a respon- sibility, which they endeavor to discharge by co-operating with the government in necessary legislation, but they must al- ways be watchful and, if neces- sary, critical of certain aspects of the legiskgtion if they con- sider them to be detrimental to the economy and the people of Canada. ; If this were not done, then the criticism would be. levied against the opposition for not discharging its responsibilities. This has occurred in past par- liaments. There has been criticism levied against members of par- liament for their lack of atten- dance in the House of Commons. A member of parliament has many and varied duties to per- form. True, he has a responsi- bility of participation in the work of the House of Com- mons; but, in addition, he has the work of committees, corre- spondence with his constituents and their problems, invitations to functions in and outside of his constituency, and many other varied duties to perform. There is a tendency to judge members of parliament by their failure to participate in votes. It is readily admitted that this is very important. But the 'criti- cism could be most unfair if the matter of non-participation in a vote was as a result of illness, absence owing to being a mem- ber of a government delegation away from Ottawa. A member of parliament could be attend- ing a very important event in his own constituency. Members of parliament have missed un- scheduled votes while making a recording for the consumption' of listeners in the constituency. These recordings are made in a studio in Ottawa, away from the House of Commons. EMPLOYMENT INCENTIVE The government has -- an- nounced an incentive program for the employment and train- ing of older workers. In recent years, more and more employers have been dis- covering the value of hiring old- er workers because of their spe- cia] qualities -- mature judg- ment, knowledge from experience, stability, less ab- senteeism and lower labor turn- over and accident rates. Irving Howe, an outstanding literary and political writer in the United States, has compiled several of the writings of Leon Trotsky together in his new book "The Basic Writings of Trotsky" (Random House of Canada Ltd.) It is a stimulating book, espe- cilly for those familiar with the more important works of the deceased Red Army leader and historian, best known for his "The History of the Russian Revolution." Howe asks if any major figure of the 20th Century left so com- plete a record of his thought and experiences as Leon Trotsky. Says Howe: "Perhaps Churchill, perhaps DeGaulle; but neither of these men combined so fully or remarkably as did Trotsky the role of historical actor and historian, political leader, theor- ist, charismatic orator and iso- lated critic. Trotsky made his- tory and kept an eye on history. He was a man of heroic mold, entirely committed to the life of action, but he was also an in- tellectual who believed in thé power and purity of the world." With the outbreak of the Rus- sian Revolution in 1917, Trotsky moved into the centre of modern history. As Howe points out,Trot- sky was more than a superb orator, more than a remarkable sensitive medium between the aroused masses and the strain- ing Bolshevik leadership. He became the main political spokesman for the Bolshevik point of view. And as prepara- tion for the October revolution proceeded, "al the work of prac- tical organization of the resur- rection" -- even Joseph Stalin had to admit afterwards --"was conducted under the immediate leadership of the president of the Petrograd Soviet, Comrade Trotsky. It is possible to declare with certainty that the swift passing of the garrison to the NEED AN ; OIL FURNACE .. cau PERRY OAY OR NIGHT 723-3443 LOWREY FREE 3-DAY ORGANS HOME TRIAL DEMONSTRATIONS AT STORE 5 FREE LESSONS EASY TERMS ALTO Music Supplies 453 SIMCOE ST.

Trotsky appears in this. book mainly as a public writer, so that no intimate knowledge of radical idology or history is needed to grasp the significance of his work, The author says the selections have been made to provide examples of his analyti- cal sweep and brilliance, his authority as spokesman for the Marxist worldview and his dis- tinction as a writer. Howe is correct in his assump- tion that they are bound to in- spire admiration even from those who do not agree with Trotsky's politics, as well as eli- cit disapproval from all but his most devout followers. Much of the material in this book has been rescued from obscure jour- nals and yellowed pamphlets lish for the first time. As Howe says in his introduction: sian writers of the 19th. century her took from them the assump- tion that to write is to engage in a serious political act, a gesture creation of man." This book isa "must" those who would know the works of Trotsky better. and some of it is printed in Eng- "In his rise and fall, his pow- er and tragedy, Leon Trotsky is one of the titians of our cen- tury.

In addition, lengthy periods of unemployment tend to make it increasingly difficult for many of them secure perma- nent employment. To assist such workers to gain employment experience, the fed- as ies cecal ip patel an incentive payme: employers who hire and train werkt 45 and over. The incentive is ap- plicable to those workers who are hired between Nov. 1, 1963, and Jan. 31, 1964, and who are unemployed and have exhausted ala insurance bene- The incentive, which will be paid to employers for each elig- ible worker hired, will be based on 50 per cent of the wages paid, or $75 a month, whichever is less. Aimed at assisting employers during the period an older work- er is brought up to the level of full productivity, the incentive will be paid for 12 months. The first application for the incen- tive will be made by the em- ployer following his employment of an eligible worker or his re- placement for a period of three months. The employer. will re- ceive a retroactive payment for the initial three-month period of employment and monthly pay- ments thereafter for a total of 12 months. INCENTIVE PAYMENTS Incentive payments to em- ployers will be made under the ape conditions: . Incentive payments appl to all jobs which are arable under the Unemployment Insur- ance Act. Employment by gov- ernment at all levels, and by government-owned business en- terprises is excluded. 2. The employer must provide the worker with a significant amount of training on the job. 3. Where training on the job is inappropriate, the employer can provide other programs to assist the worker to continue in gainful employment. 4. The employer must have hired the worker during the period November 1, 1963, to Jan- uary 31, 1964, and have employ- ed the worker or his replace- ment for at least three months before the 'incentive becomes payable. 5. The worker must be 45 years of age or over and not in full-time employment' at the time of hiring. _ 6. A worker must not be fill- ing a job vacated by another worker after September 1, 1963, 7. The worker must have been unemployed for at least six of the previous nine months and have exhausted regular Unem- ployment Insurance benefits, 8. The worker must have been registered for employment with the National Employment: Serv- ice or have been in receipt of unemployment assistance or otherwise provide satisfactory evidence of attachment to the labor market during the pre- vious nine months. 9. The worker must not be in receipt to the universal old age pension for their retirement pen- sioner benefit equal to, or in excess. of, the universal old age pension. 10, The workers must be the only members o fthe family household for whom the incen- tive payment is made.
